Greetings, This might no longer be a good place to ask this since so few of us actually use modems anymore, but... I am wondering which of the multiple serial port cards is best supported/maintained in FreeBSD. I am also concerned with expandability... A customer with a server running about 20 dumb terminals plus some PCs on a network, wants to put a box in a satellite office to run 4 or 5 terminals and a printer. They also would like a new report system and we are looking at setting up a box with about 32 modems hanging off it's backside for faxing and dumping directly to onsite modem/buffer/printer units. So: support for 8 upto 32 ports well maintained driver capable of sending 32 simultaneous 19200 or faster faxes Not too worried about the price - brian +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian and Lori McCane represents the last great schizm among\ McCane Consulting the gods.
